Hello all, I've been reading the Motosoto Open Source License.
The following details struck me: 1) the derivation from JOSL is apparent, but somehow Motosoto managed to garble the paragraph numbers. Not a real disaster, just inconvenient. 2) In the paragraph numbered 5, Motosoto chooses dutch law as the applicable law, but they retain the statement about jury trial. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I do happen to be dutch and to *my* (admittedly limited) knowledge, juries do not exist under dutch law... What happens if you waive your rights to non-exisiting entity? Are they voided? Do their rights become unenforcible? I have a hunch they are shooting themselves in the foot (feet?) by applying the quick-and-dirty method to their changed version of the Jabber Public License. Regards, Abe. -- Abe F. Kornelis, B.V.
